Benefits of Growing Herbs from Seed

Planting herbs at home is a wise decision. Nothing feels more satisfying and tastes even better than herbs grown by you.

First off, seeds are cheaper than buying mature plants, so you can save money and get more herbs. You’ll also get a wider selection of herb seeds than plants, which allows you to grow unique and rare varieties. Not to mention how satisfying it would be to watch them grow from tiny seeds into full plants. It is always incredibly rewarding and fun.

Another reason to grow your own herbs is that you can customise them. You decide what goes into the soil and onto the plants, you can control the growing process, and you can ensure that your herbs are organic and free from chemicals.

The results are always healthier, chemical-free herbs that are safe for you and your family to consume. Homegrown herbs are also always fresh and flavorful because they are fresh from the source.

Tips for Growing Herbs from Seed

Growing herbs from seed is easy and fun. All you need is a pack of high-quality seeds of your favourite herbs, which you can find in our selection. With high-quality, fresh seeds from wilko, you are sure of good germination and healthy plants.

Next, find a well-draining, nutrient-rich soil to plant your seeds in. For best results, use a seed-starting mix or a light potting mix. You also want to ensure that you provide plenty of sunlight and water. Find the balance, though, because too much of something is as bad as too little. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so water lightly and regularly. Use a water sprayer to lightly mist your seedlings instead.

Once your seeds have sprouted and grown a bit, thin them out to give each plant enough space to grow. This helps prevent overcrowding and promotes healthy growth.

Remember to harden off your seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions before transplanting them outdoors. Start by placing them outside for a few hours each day, then increase the time over a week.

When your seedlings are ready, transplant them to your garden or larger pots. Be gentle with the roots, and make sure to plant them at the same depth they were growing before.

As long as you provide them with everything they need, your herbs will grow just fine, and you will still enjoy the benefits. In this case, make sure you use pots with drainage holes to prevent water from sitting in the soil and causing root rot.

Place your herbs in a sunny window that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, or use grow lights if natural light is insufficient. Mist your herbs occasionally or place a humidity tray nearby to keep the air around them moist.

Remember to rotate your plant pots every few days so all sides of the plant get sunlight.
